Top Five Trends for Summer

byCharlotte Povey

1. Crochet

This year we’ve seen the return of the legendary seventies
style, crochet, comeback into limelight. All thanks to the appearance on the
Chloe catwalk, this trend has taken off at new heights. With dainty spaghetti straps
to enhance the feminine side of you or a sleek shift dress style to add more
edge to your outfit, I can guarantee you that crochet is acceptable at any
event this summer.

2. Gladiators

Huge variations of sandals climbing up models legs were seen
this spring at Paris fashion week; no doubt this is a fashion that will appear
across stylish summer destinations this year. From Valentino to Balmain the
warrior look can be interpreted alongside the bohemian lace-ups. This is a
trend that ticks two boxes at once. Don’t fret, however, because if the
knee-high option sounds too intimidating then ankle height gladiators are equally in this season. As long as there is latticed leather on your legs this
vacation you will be working one of the favourite styles this year.

3. Off the shoulder

This is the perfect beach-to-bar trend this summer and it's
bound to have heads turning. This gypsy-style can be paired with jeans and an
off the shoulder top or dare to bare in a dress that incorporates this whole
look. Bright colours can jazz up the look and golden jewels turn the daytime
outfit into an elegant night outfit. Overall the off-the-shoulder trend is an
all-rounder this summer.

4. Flares

As much as I personally hate to admit it, Flares are coming
back onto the high street this summer. This is a surprisingly flattering trend
that will elongate any legs. Bloggers, models and street-styles have exposed
originating from the seventies this style. It is fair to say this trend has
returned with vengeance.

5. Summer suede

Another seventies trend hitting it off with the summer hard,
suede this year can be worn on retro coats and feather-light dresses or even
double this softness up and wear suede as a co-ord. This time round suede colour
spectrum ranges far and wide, exiting the boundaries of tan, chalky pastel
colours are a new fresh idea on how to wear suede without touching the
stereo-typical shades of brown.

This is not a cheap trend however and I recommend you invest
in one statement garment to ensure you are purchasing a high-quality item that
will last, as I have a funny feeling suede this time is here to stay.
